Tesla bolts connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may have not been properly tightened, allowing the upper control arm to detach from the steering knuckle.
The short version
Tesla, Inc. reported a problem with the front control arm. Here is what owners need to know.
The bolts connecting the front upper control arm and steering knuckle may have not been properly tightened, allowing the upper control arm to detach from the steering knuckle.
A detached upper control arm can cause the wheels to lean in or out, decreasing the driver's ability to steer and increasing the risk of a crash.
Tesla will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, and as necessary, tighten the bolts, free of charge.
